Clone Invasion

Stolen directly from StarWars.Com

Next to the Kaminoans, there is no greater authority on the clone forces of the Republic than authors Karen Traviss and Ryan Kaufman. They have teamed up to present the ultimate Guide to the Grand Army of the Republic in Star Wars Insider #84. Find out the specifics behind the clone order of battle, individual units, equipment, weapons, and clone heroes like Captain Fordo, Commander Bacara, Sergeant Fox and Captain Jag. It's the guide clone-fans have been waiting for!

Death Star Approaching...

Straight from StarWars.Com

Steve Perry and Michael Reaves, the same pair that brought the MedStar Duology and, individually, such Star Wars novels as Shadows of the Empire and Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, are again teaming up to tell an all-new story set in the dark times between the events of Episode III and IV. Learn the truth behind the convoluted history of the Death Star and the personalities that led to its creation.

Perry and Reaves have just signed on to write this novel. It does not yet have a title.

Trop d'heure libre

This link pretty much explains it all. When you're riding the train in France all the time and have too much free time otherwise, this is what happens. Check it out here. I'll admit it's cool, but not something I'd ever think to do with trash.

Battlefront II Site Opens

Here is is! Heavy use of flash and music - what else do you expect from a LucasArts game? Be sure to check out the screenshots for pics of Pre-suit Vader, Ki Adi Mundi, Young Obi-Wan, Aayla Secura, Grevious, Yoda, Luke (using a green blade on Hoth?) and various shots of people and planets that weren't in other games - like the two where Mundi and Secura were killed and another that looks like Dagobah...

SWBF2 Promo...?

TheForce.Net reports on a possible promo figure for preordering SWBF2, much like the Scout Trooper for SWBF. So far it's just a rumor. Beware... lots of geek speak in the link.

You made it to the end! Congrats. Me too.

RL junk is really killing my free time. I'm working 9+ hour days Monday through Friday, then weekends are filled with other crap I'd rather not be doing. When I get home I mostly want to play a game - get my mind off of work - but I can't. There is far too much DJB work to get done.

Hey, for reading this far you get a special treat... Little Known Star Wars Fact #37: The Rebel Blockade Runner featured in the famous opening shot of "Star Wars" was originally conceived as Han Solo's ship.

HRLD's Note: The model used on-screen has a reduced copy of a Playboy centerfold pinned up in the cockpit.
